Managed two three mile walks since last post, one last Tuesday morning and one this morning before work. The weekend unfortunately was taken up with Hospital visiting!!! My daughter was taken in on Friday after collapsing at work - they kept her overnight and was discharged late on Saturday, turned out she had an infection that she wasn't aware of and is now on the mend. Bit scarey for a while there though!!

This mornings walk took me 54 mins, bit longer than last time, but I took the dog with me today and he hasn't quite got the hang of power walking in a straight line!!! and finds it difficult to ignore lamposts!!. So I guess all in all it wasn't too bad. Probably be Thursday when I do my next walk, think I'll leave the dog behind and see what pace I can do without him, with no excuses.

Hopefully the training programmes will be sent out soon, will continue with the three mile walks tills then.

Not "blogged" for a few days, but have been out walking.... Managed two before work walks and one again on Sunday. Still three miles and still managing about 50 mins time. Pleased and determined to carry on. Will contine with three miles until training programme comes.

All went well, only Sunday's one did I feel extremely tired and a bit achy. I've put it down to the excessive drinking on Friday night and the bottle of wine on Saturday..... I have to cut down the alcohol because it really does make a difference .....

Planning to go out again before work tomorrow, just hoping that the weather is not as bad as it was this morning .......

Well New Year is here and no more excuses for not getting out and walking!! Had a great Christmas - lots of eating and drinking and family parties, but now reality needs to hit home and need to get out and WALK.

My daughter's friend, Amy, has also got a place so we are really pleased with that. Got trainers and socks for Christmas, so now I just have to get out there.

Well today I did!!!! My husband joined me (even though he's not doing the walk) and we did just over 3 miles in 50 mins. I was pleased with that considering that I'm feeling extremely unfit. I'm hoping to increase the speed a bit. My plan is to get out and do as many 3 mile walks as I can until the Training Programme arrives and then to follow the programme.

My only New Year Resolution this year is to do all the training and to complete the Moonwalk. It's going to be quite a challenge (as anyone who knows me will appreciate!!!!), but I'm DETERMINED!!

Will write more later in the week - going to set up a fundraising page now - Good Luck all you Moonwalkers x
